Some of the idiotic comments from the lefties are just so, well, idiotic.

The Reason foundation is a libertarian think tank--the kind that thinks that all government is bad. Most other polling has Walker and Barrett in a dead heat right now. As more info has come out in the last week about the fraud allegations during Walker's tenure as a county administrator (he's had to lawyer up and start a defense fund) and as more comes out in the next few days about his lying under oath to Congress re: his plans for the state, we may see things shift yet again. It looks like the D's have waited to do a big 11th hour media push on those issues as an "october" surprise. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks, regardless.

From what I've seen and heard, Walker is at a media saturation point--at some point people stop paying attention because they've seen enough, and more money dumped isn't going to do much for him. However, an infusion of cash for media time for pro Barrett, and on anti-Walker issues at this point would have more of an impact.
